Femöre battery (Femörefortet) is a facility previously operated by the Swedish Coastal Artillery arm of Swedish Armed Forces. Also known as "Battery OD", it is located only a short trip south-east of Oxelösund on the Swedish east coast, and is blasted into the rock on the Femöre peninsula. The facility totals approx. {{convert|3300|m2|ft2}} in size, and is connected via an over {{convert|450|m|ft}} long tunnel, stretching across the length of the facility.{{cite web|url= http://www.subbrit.org.uk/rsg/sites/f/femore_fort/index.html

The battery was part of a series of similar facilities built during the 1960s and 1970s as a defence against potential attacks from the Soviet Union. Battery OD was the third of a total of 30 forts built in Sweden during the Cold War.

The Femöre battery was decommissioned in 1997, and was scheduled for dismantling in 2003. Due to a local interest group, large parts of the fort were instead preserved and is today used as a museum. Since 2003, the battery has been open for regular tours during the summer.

The armament consisted of three 7.5 cm tornpjäs m/57, with an effective range of {{convert|13|km|mi}}.
